Quotes

“I can think of several people that I've seen who after starting continuous glucose monitoring with a flash glucose monitor have been able to reduce their A1C by two percent, have managed to significantly reduce the number of hypoglycaemic episodes that they've had and also actually just feel so much more confident in managing their diabetes.”EU Key Opinion Leader

“They [manufacturers/developers of D-tech] need to think, who is the target population? And they need to do their calculations for investors based on the realistic assessment of who actually is the target population. They need to be able to prove to clinicians like me that they've thought about what are the metrics of success. And thirdly, they need to take a cold, hard look and ask themselves the question, why should someone pay for this?”US Key Opinion Leader
